Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend Tyler Perry's birthday party

It's party time!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended Tyler Perry's star-studded 55th birthday party in Montecito, California on Saturday.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen in the back seat of a black Range Rover as they left the $31 million mansion where the party was taking place, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail on Monday.

Markle, 43, was all smiles and held her hand to her face as she sat in the back seat with her husband, who had just celebrated his 40th birthday, and a friend.

The Suits alum's outfit was not visible in the photos, but her diamond ring was visible. Harry, on the other hand, wore a gray suit.

Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King also attended the party and were seen driving away in another car.

The 70-year-old “Color Purple” actress was driving while the 69-year-old “CBS Mornings” co-host sat in the passenger seat. Behind them sat Alicia Key and her husband Swizz Beatz.

Harry and Markle have been close friends with Perry since they turned to him for advice after stepping down from royal duties in January 2020.

“I sent them a message … and just said, 'If you ever need anything, I'm here.' And she called months later and talked to me like I was a therapist you talk to, and we just had a great conversation,” he recalled to Kelly Ripa on her podcast “Let's Talk Off Camera” in November 2023.

“It's very important for people in this business to have a safe place where they can trust and talk freely and get advice that is unbiased or comes from someone who wants something from them.”

After developing a friendship with the couple, the “Why Did I Get Married?” actor invited her and her son, Prince Archie, to stay at his $18 million Beverly Hills estate to hide from the media.

After the Sussexes welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in 2021, they made the filmmaker her godfather.

The couple is also close to Winfrey and King.

In 2021, Harry and Markle sat down with the former talk show host to tell her all about their issues with the royal family, including wondering how dark Archie's skin would be when he was born.
